I Promise To Cleanup After The Refactor

Ah yes, the infamous "I Promise To Cleanup After The Refactor" bridge. Just like how every developer swears they'll come back and clean up their temporary hacks after shipping the feature. Five years later, that "quick fix" is now a load-bearing monstrosity that nobody dares to touch. The bridge is still standing though, so technically it works in production! And just like legacy code, it's covered in the vines of technical debt that keep growing while management insists on building new features on top. Remember folks, temporary solutions are the most permanent architectural decisions you'll ever make.

The beast's many tentacles represent the endless rabbit holes of package management hell. And the best part? By tomorrow morning, half of those logos will be deprecated.
